Just remember that bottles doesn’t store it’s data in the same directory as wine (or in ~/.wine/drive_c) instead it uses its own drive_c directory. Make sure you’re placing the VST within the bottles folders. I found a similar error when patching FL Studio license, it wouldn’t apply so I had to run the regedit.exe within the bottles environment so it could ‘apply the registry changes’ to my bottles regedit.
